What if Frankenstein’s monster flees to the end of the globe, only to be rescued from the wilderness and brought back to civilization? Join Vincent O’ Sullivan and Noelle McCarthy as they discuss O’Sullivan’s latest collection, the centrality of things left unsaid, and the price we pay to belong –– to family, to community and to our tenuous idea of civility.

‘A bold and unnerving book full of mischief and wonder. O’Sullivan’s eye for why people want the wrong things is wincingly good. And always there’s the striking move from the senses and the physical world to a kind of philosophical tussle. You finish an O’Sullivan story feeling implicated and enlivened.’ —Damien Wilkins
